Are points of a story only a sum of direct up votes? Or does it already factor in age, number of comments, etc.?

- cperciva 16y agoIt's just the number of votes.
- giantfuzzypanda 16y agoYes, but according to the FAQ they're ranked like this: "On the front page, by points divided by a power of the time since they were submitted. Comments in comment threads are ranked the same way."
